Choosing RFID tags

With so many types of RFID tags on the market, it’s very important to choose the right tag for the asset you’ll be applying it to. There are four main considerations:

#1 – What type of material are you placing the tag on?

Metal?

Wood?

Paper?

Plastic?

Uniforms?

Each of these examples requires a different type of tag to ensure optimal performance.

#2 – How will the tag be applied?

Adhesive foam backing?

Hanging the tag to asset?

Screwing the tag to the asset?

Some form of glue or epoxy?

Size of area to place tag on?

How thick can the label be?
